Thank you to all our community members for your continued support of The Franklin Food Pantry. We continue to have requests about how to support The Pantry. The best way to support The Pantry is to make a monetary donation online so that we can purchase the items we need to serve our neighbors.
We communicate regularly with our town officials and local police force to continue to ensure our neighbors' safety and to share Pantry updates with them.
The Franklin Food Pantry remains open to ALL who need us. If you are new to us and haven't used us before or in awhile please reach out to Executive Director, Lynn Calling or 508-528-3115 and she will help you.
We have made some changes to how we serve our neighbors. These changes are listed below:
